Services for International Students

Welcome to Pickler Memorial Library...

This page will introduce
you to our library and briefly highlight some of the services the
library provides for you.

Finding
Information

Library Catalog. You can find books, CDs, videos and DVDs
and other material through the
library catalog.
You can search by author, title, subject, and keyword.

Call numbers. Books and other materials in the library are
arranged on the shelves by call number. Our library uses the
Library of Congress system, in which all call numbers begin with one
or more letters followed by numbers (Example: QA 190 S32) All
call numbers beginning with the same letter are placed together on
the shelves. Because a call number corresponds to a subject or
topic, you should find items on the same topic together on the same
book shelf.

Foreign-Language Dictionaries:
Many language dictionaries are located in the Reference collection
on the first floor. Additional copies, which may be checked out, are
kept in the General Collection on the third floor. To find bilingual
dictionaries (for example, a Spanish-English dictionary) in the
Library catalog, click on the links below to get the call numbers
for bilingual dictionaries in our library.

Help When You Need It

Research & Instruction. The Library Service Desk
(on the first floor when you first come in the library) is the place to
go for help when you do not know where to start. You can also
call 660-785-4051 to ask a librarian to help you find information. You can also
schedule a
RAP Session
and receive one-on-one assistance for research assignments.
